Hm.  Odd, I just tested this and you're right.  I'd done some work with
this some time ago and it appeared that this worked.  Weird coincidence.
But it doesn't entirely address my question.

Well, let's say negative object number #-110 connects as object #110 -
there's no way to directly make that association without doing it in-DB.
Tho it wouldn't be so hard to hack something together to make the
association just before the connection is made.
